You're kidding, right? It's hard for me to believe everyone doesn't see what a complete dipshit she is.

LOL!!

I swear Troy has more maturity than Vicki. During the lunch with Kelly, Vicki asks "Do you like to have fun too?" As if someone would reply "Oh no, not at all. I hate having fun. Fun is SO overrated". Just stupid. Then, of course, Vicki has to spew her dreadfully juvenile WOO-HOO for the seventeen millionth time. Girl, get a new catch phrase -- you've worn it to shreds, and need to advance beyond your college party girl phase.

Did anyone notice that when Troy was wriggling off Vicki's lap during his melt-down over the little car motif travel bag, Owen dropped the thing and looked like he was getting ready to high-tail it? I'll bet that Troy has already cleaned little bro Owen's clock in the past for daring to take off with Troy's property.

At their lunch together, I thought that was really a stupid question that Vicki asked Kelly: "Do you like to have fun?" As if someone might reply "Oh no, not me. I hate fun. Fun is overrated." Just stupid. Ditto for the "woo-hoo" Vicki just HAD to spew for the seventeen millionth time. Girl, get a new catch phrase, you've worn this one to shreds, it's NOT cute on someone over college age anyway, and everyone's sick of hearing it out of you.

Well, now that Vicki has a sick loved one who is legit, will she begin to demand casseroles again? (Can't you just hear her now: "Briana is so sick and has two toddlers, plus I have to WORK to support everyone -- why isn't someone making casseroles for us?") And I'm really curious as to when the last time Vicki made a casserole for someone else, since she hasn't taken credit for any, and we've certainly never seen her make any. Just a thought.

Well, let's not forget that Slade was on camera making a snide comment about "eat a burger Lydia" or some such, which wasn't well received for some reason.

I cannot imagine why Briana and Vicki would drive that car from OK to CA, considering a vehicle transport would cost about $900 or so and take maybe 3 to 5 days.

I suspect it's the same kind of "bought for Briana" that she did with that Mercedes when Briana was in college. All Vicki probably did was make the down payment and hand it over to Briana and Ryan together the payment coupon book, while taking credit for having "bought" them a house.

Assuming she could get $2.1 mil for her house, that would buy only a modest size oceanfront condo in Laguna or Newport. IMHO, probably not ostentatious enough for the Vickster. Plus, her business is in Coto de Caza -- 40 miles or so from the beach cities mentioned. The commute would be brutal.

Truffle Hunter -- LOL!!

I think that the reason we saw so little of "fun things" going on is because women are basically forbidden there. I'm serious. It's possible that the reason they weren't driving the dune buggy themselves might be it's illegal there for women to drive, or be out in public without a burka and/or unaccompanied by male chaperones. So we end up seeing places where the surroundings can be made private and they're a lot less likely to get hassled (or worse) by the authorities. Seems to me like a crazy place to take a bunch of pampered American women, but Andy probably got the whole thing comped or something and so force that square peg in the round hole.

Brilliant! Again.

Oh ElDosEquis -- you slay!!!

All kinds of YES to this! Later in the ep they showed that Katheryn is deaf in one ear, which would explain her loudness, but the mania definitely seemed substance induced.

I thought Doug acted like a complete turd in that restaurant scene. All he could do was keep exclaiming "you lost your job! you made a lot of money! what will we do without all the money you made?" I can't stand a man who behaves like a total baby when things go wrong -- did he expect life to always be hunky-dory or something? It never occurred to Doug when Mars said she found out on Friday that SHE'd been suffering with this knowledge for 2 days before breaking it to him what I consider fairly gently. To her credit, Mars kept her cool and told him to "just roll with it". I mean, WTH else can she say in that situation? Suck it up and comfort your wife Doug -- you're SUPPOSED to be the man here.

Agreed, but some dogs are smarter (train easier) than others. If Bambi was my dog, she'd be outside while there was food on the table, and she'd most certainly get a flank smack and a loud "NO" if I found out she'd taken food. And THEN she'd be put outside while everyone else was eating inside - I would never tolerate a sneaky food snagger.

ITA! And don't forget, Kathryn added to that "and her face didn't move". Erika has her faults, but sheesh! The woman opens up to Kathryn, and that's all she has to say about it?? Talk about hypocrisy at its finest! So unnecessarily mean of Kathryn to add those details -- it certainly rubbed me the wrong way when I heard it.

Yeah - most likely because she didn't know the difference.

Yeah, pro football players aren't known for their great smarts, so both Marcus Allen and Donnie probably think she's so intelligent. And did anyone else notice how enthralled Donnie is with Katherine's whiteness? One thing they definitely have in common is that they both adore her! And speaking of Donnie - he's NOT a fan, he's a player. Um, someone will have to break it to him that he's actually NOT a player either anymore. That's "DER munchie-hoosen". :-> She really did make a big deal about how complicated a word it was for her to pronounce. I guess if Yo can't pronounce it, she can deny it's a real word?

Didn't you hear Erika say in another ep that she doesn't have women friends and only hangs with gay men? You know, the ones who fawn all over her, do her hair and makeup, and tell her non-stop about how awesome and beautiful she is.

I thought the same thing last year when I watched Gigi's appearance as a guest on some TV talk show - I forget now which one. She giggled a lot in response to questions and showed her extremely limited vocabulary and conversational skills. The whole thing was extremely disappointing. She seems like she'd be intelligent enough for college, but I guess looking pretty and photographing well is all this girl needs to accomplish -- besides tracking down a super-mega-wealthy husband, of course. Plenty of time left for her to slowly-but-surely become as insecure and annoying as her mother.

Y'know, I was having the same thought about Katherine. She just seems . . . yeah, not so bright. Right away I got the overall impression that she's never had very many interests in her life (outside of banging pro athletes, shopping,for obscenely expensive handbags and getting beauty treatments) And she's still stressing over Faye's book why?? Yeah I guess Faye wrote a sentence in her book to the effect that Katherine was the "turn a blind eye" (not the other cheek, genius!) type of wife to Marcus Allen. But Katherine can't even quote what was written that she finds so odious. I read the book eons ago and for the life of me I don't remember that part, but okay. Since Katherine's marriage to Marcus Allen has been OVER for a long time, why she would STILL have blood in her eye and want to tear out Fay's lungs eludes me. Pitiful. Oh, and P.S. While I understand the reasons people in that circle didn't appreciate Faye's book, I thought the book did the rest of us a service by throwing much-deserved shade on the hero-worship that OJ enjoyed for so many years. Some of that undoubtedly spilled over onto Marcus Allen and Katherine, but one does get judged by the company one keeps. She DID divorce Marcus for being a lying cheat, so I don't see that it's such a big leap to believing Marcus was cheating with Nicole. Nicole's history shows she was no angel either.
